If you had $10,000 right now, where would you invest it?

Money magazine 4 mins read

The key to successful investing begins with understanding your appetite for risk. Some investment vehicles (ETFs and term deposits) are set and forget; others, like equities, require fortitude to remain steady when faced with significant ups and downs as well as knowing the right triggers to buy and sell. Still others need significant time to comprehend. Welcome to crypto. In the November issue of Money, we’ve covered all the investing options that our audience would consider should they have $10,000 to invest. But more than this - and considering the squeeze that many people are experiencing - we’ve also approached our cover story as an educational piece for when the time is right.

While the outlook for global growth is pessimistic, stock markets are ignoring the big issues. How this contradiction will be resolved remains a big challenge for investors. Aman Ramrakha, director of research at Rainmaker Information, analyses the state of play for investors, explaining that while a soft-landing scenario would appear to be the best outcome, the potential for turbulence exists.

 

Joining Aman is a team of diverse investment experts who reveal where they’d put their money right now, including: 

 

  • Michelle Singer, property communications consultant 
  • Karl Mohan, general manager for APAC and MEA, crypto.com 
  • Michelle Baltazar, editor-in-chief, Money  
  • Jessica Amir, market strategist, moomoo
  • Zach Riaz, investment manager and director, Banyantree Investment Group
  • Pooja Antil, research director, Rainmaker Information 
  • David Bassanese, chief economist, betashares
  • Grady Wulff, market analyst, Bell Direct

 

The November issue also features:
